Just what does anyone RO or whoever expect the MT to do in the regions?
Basically if I wanna do something with or for the DSC I just do it, no need to ask the MT for permission, occasionally if its something out of the ordinary I might let one or two of them know but that’s it. If I’ve needed something from the club like the banners or whatever I’ve asked. The DIY approach works if I get any support it’s a bonus.
The doers in this club are what make it, or any other club for that matter. Like it’s been said 1,000,001 times there is a core of doers, and no you don’t have to be on the MT, and RO to be a doer.
All too often though the doers are pulled to bits by the nay sayers, this isn’t right, that isn’t right, I’m only thinking of other members, blah, blah, blah. Fine say yer piece, but unless you are prepared to DO something, leave it at that. Oh and if what you do doesn’t work than maybe not many others think it was such a great idea anyway. I've had plenty of shite ideas in my time...
Times change, people buy Ducatis, people sell Ducatis, people take up biking people pack it in other things take up peoples time etc.
Again there’s a core of people you see very regularly or rides and stuff, you won’t please all of the people all of the time and it’s not unusual not to see some members for year in year out. c'est la Vie
It’s a thankless task being a doer, why do we do it? Because you want to share the enjoyment of riding yer Ducati on road or track, just talk about Ducatis, write about 'em or whatever.
The thank yous after a ride/meet make it worthwhile, even the fact that some acknowledge what you are doing is a thankless task keeps you going.
Like WJB says the trackday is a vital part of what the club does and it’s pretty much unique now in the UK running its own trackday, its run by members for members.
What is it with the pre occupation with the internerd…………..in the DSC context it’s just a way of communicating what’s going on, asking for help, questions and occasionally spouting off.
Sure it’s a useful tool but it’s no substitute for getting out in the real world.
How long to cadwell……………..
